All About Found Materials

The use of metal is an integral part of human development. Historical periods such as the Iron and Bronze Ages are called that because new technologies allowed people to use these metals to make tools, weapons, jewellery, and other items. Today, metals are all around us—from construction and machinery manufacturing to microscopic components in electronics and medical fields. Science is constantly searching for new ways to use the Earth’s elements more efficiently. Our team strives to extract these elements more effectively and return them to production from metal-containing waste.

Kobaltas

Cobalt

Cobalt (Lat. Cobaltum) is a lustrous, brittle, corrosion-resistant, and magnetic metal found in various ores of copper, nickel, and iron. Cobalt is a good conductor of heat and electricity and has a wide range of industrial applications. It has a melting point of 1495°C and a boiling point of 2870°C.

Today, cobalt (chemical symbol Co) is well known as one of the essential materials for the production of lithium-ion batteries for electric cars. An average electric car battery contains about 8-12 kilograms of cobalt. This metal is used not only in electric cars but also in much smaller devices, including computer and smartphone batteries.

Cobalt is also used in another rather unique area of industry: the production of powerful magnets. These magnets are used in various motors and generators. Cobalt is also used in the production of various heat-, corrosion-, and wear-resistant metal alloys, which are then used in industries such as energy, aviation, and medicine.
